Previous studies demonstrated that overexpression of the type-1 insulin-like growth factor (IGF) receptor (IGF-1R) in skeletal myogenic cell lines increased proliferation and differentiation responses to IGF. However, it was unclear if such manipulations in primary, untransformed skeletal myogenic cells would result in modulation of these responses, which may be more stringently regulated in primary cells than in myogenic cell lines. In this study, low passage untransformed fetal bovine myogenic cultures were infected with a replication-deficient retroviral expression vector (LISN) coding for the human IGF-1R or with a control retroviral vector (LNL6). Bovine myogenic cultures infected with the LISN vector (Bov-LISN) displayed ten times more IGF-1Rs than controls (Bov-LNL6). Bov-LISN myogenic cultures exhibited elevated rates of IGF-I-stimulated proliferation and increased rates of terminal differentiation which were reduced to control levels by the anti-human IGF-1R antibody alpha IR3. These findings indicate overexpression of the IGF-1R can enhance IGF sensitivity and thereby modify the proliferation and differentiation behavior of untransformed low passage myoblasts. Such manipulations may be useful to increase muscle mass in clinical or agricultural applications. |
